Potential highlighting animation for newly added widgets

Not very important but while preparing my custom layouts and adding tools to the workspace I was sometimes asking "where did it go?". Depending on the layout its sometimes hard to see where the new widget was placed. Especially if the tool landed hidden in some tab.

* if the tool is added to a tab bring this tab in focus so it is the active tab currently shown on the screen for this tab group
* add some highlighting for the new tool so its easier to see where it went

Attached a first draft of how that could look like
